“Jenny has been an amazing dogsitter for us. We have started using her every time we go out of town. Our 3 dogs have very different personalities. One is old, one is a very large puppy, and the third doesn't love to play with other dogs. Despite their differences, she has been able to manage them seemlessly. She is caring and truly loves our dogs. She sent lots of pictures so we could se how cuddled and happy they were. I would highly recommend Jenny's services.”
“I couldn’t be happier with Anna’s care. Leading up to the date she was very helpful and responsive. Shortly after leaving my pup with her, she sent me photos and videos which made me at ease knowing that my dog was happy and acclimating well. All throughout she took extra steps to make me feel comfortable while I was away from my pup. I can assure you that your dog will be well taken care of with Anna!”
“Darek was fantastic with my pup! She was a happy girl when I picked her up. On top of that, my trip ended up getting extended two extra days and Darek was so helpful and communicative during the whole process, it took a huge weight off of my shoulders as a pet parent! Definitely recommend him as a sitter and will be using him again!!”
“We loved William and Amanda. They sent lots of photos and they have a great space for pups to be inside and outside. Lizzie had a fun stay and was well cared for. We will use them again when we come back to Durango.”
“Dean is a great guy and took excellent care of Rocket. He always sent updates with photos and videos and it always looked like Rocket was having a great time (out for walks, playing with Dean and his other dogs and having that happy look on his face). We would recommend Dean to anyone looking for their dog to be taken care of in Telluride.”
“Sierra was fabulous. She accomadated our last minute need for weekend boarding so we could attend a festival in Telluride. She supported us with a really early morning drop off, and a Sunday afternoon pickup near their mountain cabin on our way out of Telluride. She kept us up to date with photos, and our pup told us she had a ton of fun!”
“Devon took such great care of Maia for us and the bonus was that she had a new playmate to go on walks with in a beautiful area. She had the best time and we’ll definitely be back soon!!”
“Savannah was wonderful with Alice during her four-night stay! She communicated consistently, sent updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Most importantly, Alice absolutely loved her and came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Savannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter for their dog.”
About: Having had several dogs in my life and a dog training License I feel your animals would be at home with me as much as you I do not have a dog and I just enjoy dogs, attitude, company and motivation. They would allow me to care and earn some extra cash. They will be treated like a member of the family in your home. The parameters that you set up will be respected Either way, the animal will feel safe and at peace
“Aliana did a great job. She met us in town for drop off and pick up which was super convenient. Kachina had lots of time to run around, Aliana sent us pictures and checked in throughout the weekend. Our girl was very happy and healthy when she returned. Highly recommend Aliana !”
About: I went to school originally for animal science and veterinary technology. I worked in veterinary ERs, general practice, shelters for 6 years out of school. While I have hung up my hat as a vet tech officially in 2009 after I found a passion for a career in nonprofit and outdoor education, I still maintained several dog/cat sitting clients in Telluride where I lived over the course of fifteen years on the side of my full time program director position for a busy summer camp. Now in my 40s I work from home or remotely, for the last six years, as a nonprofit consultant. I have one lab named Zappa who keeps me on my toes the way only labs know how. (I can always bring him with me to your home or let him stay at home.) My lifestyle is active and I stay flexible so I can work remotely for travel opportunities (or to stay with your fur babies in your home!). I love running, hiking, surfing, rafting and riding bikes. Senior pets, meds and special instructions are no problem for me with my certified vet tech background. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones! Let me know if you have any questions 💙 I’m typically very flexible since I work from home. I split my time between Mancos/Durango/Telluride so can stay wherever you are or your pet can stay with me, or I can do drop ins. Sometimes I have to drive up to Telluride for client meetings but would know ahead of time and plan your pet sitting around that or just not schedule anything during that time. My house is very clean, uncluttered and comfortable. I have an unfenced yard on 4 acres but would follow your lead on this one. My dog uses a halo collar for his fence boundary at my house. I’ve cared for dogs who need leash walks only too.
“Thanks Tarah for Ranger’s visit. Sounds like he had a wonderful adventure filled visit. He was definitely tired but happy when we picked him up. We would love to have you watch him again!”
“Ava was great with Dixie and did an awesome job of staying in communication with me as she was watching her! She stepped up when I needed daycare last second which was super clutch. Would definitely book again :)”
“Bently had a great stay with Jack! Drop off and pick up were very smooth and I received lots of pictures. Bently had just started Prednisone and Jack gave him the medication and paid close attention to his well-being. Great communication and Bently would love to stay again if we're ever back in the area!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I grew up with a black lab at home and now my family has another black lab. I have done extensive training with her and I’m now able to take her into stores and other public indoor spaces that are dog friendly. I have a passion for training dogs. I care a lot about animal health and will respect whatever rules you hold for your dog or cat. I have experience with leash aggressive dogs, and dogs that are not good with other dogs. I have a calm and caring demeanor that dogs pick up on immediately. I cat sit for my best friends cat quite often. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to watch over pups and cats. I’m in school for herbalism and have night class 2x a week and day class every other Saturday. . I listen to the rules of the animals’ owner so they can keep up with their normal routine. They will be leashed if they are used to it, off leash if that’s what they’re used to. Animals are always the safest when you follow the same rules as their parents.
“We knew that Jackson took great care of our dog just by the way she interacted with him when we picked her up (obviously gave her lots of loving attention). He kept us informed on how she was doing, kept her busy with walks and socializing with other dogs. Jackson is now our Rover go to!”
About: I have been the luckiest dog mom to two of the sweetest and most special Frenchies for almost 12 years. Sadly, they both moved on within 3 weeks of each other and I need to watch yours now :) If you are reading this and you have a Frenchie, you know that they have very specific needs as compared to other dogs. They're barely dogs. I will go out of my way to do all of the crazy things that you are afraid to ask a dog sitter to do including but not limited to: carrying them up and down stairs and on/off furniture. Ensuring that a mountain lion or hawk doesn't pick them off with constant supervision in my fully-fenced yard. Letting them sleep and snuggle on the couch and in the bed. Giving them some insane-to-understand food preparation because that's "just how they like it." Keeping their snout smooth, ears and wrinkles cleaned, and tush tidy. Ensuring that they don't overheat or drown. These are legitimately all of the fears that I had and I could never find a consistent trusted dog sitter so I often could not leave my pups. Let me help you! My husband and I work from home and want a little Frenchie buddy to play with during the day. We're not ready to own another at the moment but are happy to provide top notch care to your friend. Your pups will always be supervised in the backyard. We have a dog door but our Frenchies were never taught to use it because of the risk of a wildlife encounter without our supervision. They will be monitored to ensure that they don't hurt their backs (carrying up/down stairs and on/off furniture. No toys will be left out if they are left alone to minimize any hazards. If there is an emergency we have had to deal with seizures in the past and know the protocol. We are happy to bring them to the vet if we feel it's necessary.
“Nichole is a wonderful sitter!! We boarded our white Golden Retriever, Kodiak with her while we were at Wanderlust Squaw and got wonderful photos back from her! It was like leaving your dog with a professional photographer. Some of the photos we got back we are framing:) She is a kind and patient sitter and you can tell she really LOVES dogs. She also has a white Golden Retriever ("English Cream") and the two pups got along famously! We'll be using her services again if we are up that way!!”

About: Hello fellow dog lovers! With over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, I understand the deep bond between humans and their furry companions. Although I cannot host pets in my rental, I’d love to take your dog for a walk or house sit where they feel most comfortable- your home! I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide care both during and outside of regular business hours. Whether it’s a midday walk, evening playtime or weekend adventure, I’m here to ensure your dog receives the attention, love and exercise they deserve. If you book me for pet sitting in your home, you can feel at ease knowing that I will respect your space and make it a goal of mine to leave your space as clean as you left it. Let’s connect and discuss how I can offer your dog the right care and attention to make you feel comfortable when you can’t be with them. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule! I can provide pet services within or outside of regular business hours- let’s discuss your pets needs and I can likely fit them in to my schedule, no problem! I love clients who offer detailed lists of their pets needs and daily routines! I used to do the same with my dog and know that following something like this gives everyone involved (dogs included!) ease of mind.
About: I have experience taking care of my own cats and others since I was young. I am good with cats of all kinds and I find it incredibly important to respect their space and go at their pace. I've had great success with getting shy or aggressive cats to open up and become comfortable with me. I have never taken care of a hairless cat but I would love to meet one and learn the unique aspects of their care as well.
About: I've taken care of cats since I was 8 years old. I've given medication for cats that have diabetes via cat treat pill pockets. I make sure they always have a clean litterbox. Cats are great companions, and I treat them like royalty. I am a cat person at heart.
About: I was raised on a small farm in southeast Georgia which allowed me to gain experience with many different animals - including dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, ducks, goats, & horses! I’m passionate about health and wellness and am in the process of becoming a women’s health coach. I am available for dog walking and housesitting opportunities and my schedule can be somewhat flexible, depending on what kind of care you are looking for! In addition to providing excellent pet care, I have some availability to housesit which includes the following services: Taking pets for walks/hikes and engaging in playtime activities, collecting mail, & watering house plants/garden space. I currently work part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to go on walks, hikes, and engage in play with your pups, and other furry pets! Your pet’s safety and comfort is top priority! Before showing up to a sit I prefer to meet in person to build trust and make sure everyone is comfortable.
